I Want Wednesday
Hmmm. Let's see. What's on my list of Wants this week.....
1. A new Job. I am getting so bored with my current position at the sports shop. It's gone from 4 shifts a week to like 1 shift. I can't live on that. If kevin hears anything from Calico about the flat.....
2. Some new work clothes. Especially for interviews etc. A nice black suit will do the trick.
3. Some new candle scents from the world of Yankee Candles. Think I might have to visit their website.

Totally Awkward Tuesday
TAT Tuesday. Yes It's time for Totally Awkward Tuesday again. This week I'd Like to share the story of my obsession with a certain Kevin. No not my Kevin. This is another Kevin. My first crush.
We were both in 6th Grade and sat opposite sides of the classroom. Our desks were very similar to the ones you see in american high schools only they were arranged in sets of four or more, like a table. Our teacher had arranged it so we were sat two of each sex at the same table. Anyway back to Kevin. I used to sit across from Danny, with whom I am still quite good friends, Kevin sat opposite and adjacent to me on the same side as Mr Brown's desk. I used to stare at him, pretending I was looking out of the window.
I remember the day well. It's still etched in the back of my mind. We had just come back from lunch and were preparing for our final lesson of the day. Physical Education. Today was cross country running. I was not a particulary good runner, never have been, I could run just not very well. Anyway, school had decided that the girls would wear their gym skirts. The boys their shorts. So off we went to get changed, we were to meet on the top playground. Mr Brown told us to run up the hill, down the other side, across the playing field to the bottom, round and back up the hill and back down. Everything was going fine, of course the boys were all showing off and were soon back on the playground, teasing each other, laughing and joking at a certain male who hated Physical Education.
I was at the top of the hill on my way back down to the playground, when suddenly my foot slipped from under me and I went head first down the hill and landed in the puddle of mud at the bottom. Everyone, including Kev was laughing at me. I never did cross country again! My crush on Kev soon disappeared after that!

How I met You!
I'd like to share my story of how I met my wonderful Fiance Kevin with you.
I'd already met him once or twice at my friend Danielle's house. Kevin and Danielle used to work together and had become good friends outside of work. I had called round one Saturday afternoon and Kevin happened to stop by to drop off some movies that he had promised her. We simply said hello and that was that. I have to admit that I didn't really fancy Kevin much at this point. To me, he was simply Danielle's friend Kev.
Then a couple of years later, Danielle had gone off travelling round australia, being Danielle, she ran out of money and had to come back home. I had also become good friends with her sister Leonie, now Leonie had planned a surprise 25th Wedding Anniversary Party for her folks, who had no idea about the party. Leonie and her boyfriend Mark had planned their engagement party for the same night. Anyway back to "How I Met You."
As the even got into full swing, I was happily chatting away to some mutual friends of mine and Danielle's, and Kevin's too, when Chris said...."Kevin keeps looking over at you." "Yeah, let him." I didn't bother as I kind of still had a soft spot for my ex, who was also at the party. But come the end of the night, Kevin and I had swapped numbers and arranged to go out for a meal the following Saturday.
I decided to go out for a meal with him to see what happened next...we chatted and got to know each other but I still didn't fancy him much at this point, then one monday night or was it tuesday (I can't remember ) I was with my friend talking about him and we were phone flirting with each other. I got home and wrote Kevin a long letter, explaining how I really felt about him and we arranged to meet up for a drink the following day. I gave him the letter and he read it when he got home. He phoned me the next day, as it was late and that was it. We were offically seeing each other. We've been together for three years now and I love him more than anything else in the world. Thankyou for being my fiance Kevin...I love you. xxx
